H.E.R. declares that 'R&B is not dead' and unpacks her 'Judas and the Black Messiah' song 'Fight for You' in our 2022 Grammy Preview.
Despite her current triumphs and a Prince-worthy slate of talents — she sings and writes, plays bass, keyboards, guitar, and drums — she faced a surprising amount of doubt along the way. “When I did get signed, and I was just developing all those years and not putting out any music, not doing anything but creating and working on my craft, it was like, ‘Oh, she’s gonna be shelved,’” she says. “And people told me not to play guitar onstage! Like, ‘That’s going to go over the kids’ heads.’H.E.R.
Your song “Bloody Waters,” which has great playing from Thundercat on bass, really nails a Marvin Gaye vibe. How deliberate was that? I went to a Buddy Guy concert when I was seven years old, and I got to meet him and go backstage. He signed a guitar strap for me, and I still have it. Since I was young, I was writing this music that was very painful and emotional. Even if I had never been through anything crazy. Never been married or anything like that. But women who have been relate to it, I guess. And I think it’s just from listening to the blues. Because of how much emotion is in the blues.
